Call Of Dewty: AW will cut down on "Quick-Scoping"

[Jerakl]

I'll start off with

And a

FINALLY

 

It's been how many games we've known this was a problem?

 

Anyways,

Sledgehammer's focus for multiplayer is ensuring that skill, not an "overpowered create-a-class," will determine the outcome of online battles, so that someone who's perfected playing as a sniper will be on equal footing with other players who have developed comparable skills with assault rifles or shotguns.

 

My thoughts:

FINALLY A CoD PRODUCER CAUGHT ONTO THIS. This will definitely make the game more enjoyable, because there aren't scrubs running around going 53 and 4 with a sniper rifle. CoD? No Quickscoping? IMPOSSIBLE, you may say. But I for one think this is great, although eventually people will find ways around it. However, when they do, I don't think it will be nearly as effective.

Didn't treyarch try to get rid of quickscoping with Black Ops? (Haven't played CoD in years)

Yep and the way they tried to get rid of it actually made it a lot of fun

You could still do it sort of you just had to have good timing.

 

I was really good at quickscoping in most CoD Games, it was next to impossible in Black Ops 1. Really, I tried for like, 2 hours. Not one shot.

About motherfucking time. I haven't really had much of a problem in BF3 for fucks sake.

[JAKEBAB]

You do realize they have said this since mw3....

[Keudn]

A CoD game changing something?!!! IMPOSSIBRU

[Jerakl]

You do realize they have said this since mw3....

In Black Ops 1 you couldn't quickscope at all. But then again, MW3 was after BO

[Texhnlyze]

Goodluck quickscoping a bunch of monkeys.

[Snickerzz]

because BF doesnt allow you to quickscope, plus snipers need to factor in wind/bullet drop and recoil

In my opinion (with a lack of experience playing CoD..), the snipers in CoD are the equivalent of AKs in CS. They're damn good if you master them. Don't pretend that it takes no skill to go 53 and 4 CQC with a sniper. Those montages you see on YouTube were selected from a pool of dozens of terrible games. It's funny watching Hutch for example when he streams. He isn't very good at CSGO, and then he uploads a few select clips where he does quite well. The more naive viewers could be forgiven for thinking he's much better than he is.

Black Ops 1 was still possible and they had ranking for quickscoping clans even

 

Quickscoping takes skill (shocker I know) and it add dynamic to the game

If I even felt like I was getting sniped too much in a game I would pull out a AR and start mowing people down...  there was little imbalance in CoD games minus things like one man army and grenade launchers

I could and so did everyone i know....

Quick scoping didn't really take skill, just timing. The way quick scoping worked was with aim assist because console peasants have to use a controller. If you turn aim assist off, you can't quick scope. The reason for this is due to aim assist being on by default for everyone, all you had to do was get the timing right and as long as you aimed somewhat close to the person it would snap to the center and if your timing was right, it would be a one shot kill. 

 

Quickscoping is literally a thing console peasant thing. 

 

I hope the new cod fails just like the last cod failed. I hope the series gets burned to the ground and something great can rise from it's ashes... but this is a hundred million dollar a year franchise so that won't happen easily. 

[The Last MeMe]

Quick scoping takes skill... so dont see the problem really. On the other hand this cod will just be worse than the previous cod as always

[EChondo]

I don't think some of you understand the problems with "cut down" on quickscoping can do.

 

All of the real lovers of CoD(myself for example), stopped playing around MW2, maybe Black Ops 2 depending on when your common sense kicked in and you stopped paying for all of the BS DLC. Right now the masses buy the game because it's either a run and gun for them, they follow the competitive side, or they quickscope. If they "cut down" on quickscoping, then they lose that whole market share of people who would have bought the game for quickscoping alone and people still play CoD just to quickscope, even the older CoDs like MW, MW2, WaW, BO1/2, etc. Now with Halo MCC coming out and a lot of pros going over there means that the people following the competitive crowd, mainly on Xbox, are now going to get MCC instead of CoD, maybe they'll get both, but Halo will be the one that will win in the long run.

 

So Activision loses out on both the quickscopers and the pro side. Those two alone I would say make up for more than 50% of a CoD game, why? Because when you play CoD today, right now, whatever you join it's either people trying to play competitively, or people trying to quickscope.

 

If you don't believe me, wait until MCC comes out and this new CoD and we'll see which lasts longer. I can see CoD dieing on the Xbox side easily because of this, maybe it will still thrive on PC and PS4, but it won't be what it is right now. I know, MCC comes with four games and CoD is one game, but I'm betting that with the new revival of Halo:CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 alone will last the competitive side and shooters on Xbox for years to come. There will be competitions for all of them and Halo will be what it was back in the old Halo 2 days, but better.

 

This is the end of CoD, no doubt about it.

Quick scoping was on PC too... aim assist doesn't help as much as you think.  Otherwise, the skill gap in clan matches would have been much lower.  I used to play against the ranked #1 and #2 teams, I actually stomped the #2 team with my friends and made them rage quit... lol

I agree.  All my friends were really skeptical about buying BO1 when it came out because of the "no quickscoping".

[Glenwing]

It's not the first time a publisher has tried to address quickscoping. Saying they want to do something about it doesn't make it magically gone. We'll have to see exactly how they went about changing things before we start cheering (if indeed you think it's something to cheer about)

Quick scoping is on pc but you have to turn aim assist on as it's off by default (pretty sure anyway, been a while since I've checked). Aim assist on pc makes you miss shots if you use a kb/m as you don't need any aim assist because you aren't a filthy casual console pleb with a shit tier controller. 

 

Go turn off aim assist on plebbox1 and try and quick scope. It becomes increasingly more difficult, almost impossible.

I've done it, and I'm not a pleb

been about 2 years since I sold my Xbox 360

[Jerakl]

NOT TRUE!

 

At close range you can quickscope pretty effectively.

I wasn't calling you a pleb, I was speaking in general terms for "console gamers".
